No. Earth is a planet in the gravitational pull of a star. (Our Sun) We (earth) have a fixed rotational path due to gravitational pull from the sun and various other planets (Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune , and supposedly Pluto (which astrologist/scientists now claim is too small to be called a planet. There are many many other reasons/definitions on what the difference of a star or planet is. But this is a major.

A star is a bright, hot ball of gas that is glowing due to the nuclear fusion at its core.
Since that doesn't describe the Earth, then the answer is no.
Earth is a planet, not a star.

No, if Earth was a star, we would not be able to exist. The Earth is too small to be a star, and stars burn at thousands of degrees celsius, so no, Earth is not a star.

no earth is not a star, our sun is a star. Jupiter could have been as start it is only 3 times smaller then our sun and is made up of gas like the sun. when the gasses start moving real fast they rub up against each other and get hot. when it gets hot it turns into plasma and light is formed and that's a star (a sun that which is bright) that's how we see them at night.

No. The Earth is far too small to start nuclear fusion in it's core, which is the primary requirement for being a star.

Sure, the earth is a star with a surface temperature resulting from constant nuclear explosions. Don't forget to wear sunblock tonight.

no is a planet
Earth is the third planet from the Sun and is the largest of the terrestrial planets in the Solar System, in both diameter and mass. It is also referred to as "the Earth", "Planet Earth", "Gaia", "Terra",[2] and "the World".
